Overnight on the Lake

I know, they are long and drawn out, but there are loopholes in it.

The short version is:
• A line ashore
• A written permission note form the adjacent land owner
• Anchor light on at all times (during the dark hours)
• If you have toilet faculties on board, must have current state environmental permit
• Plus all the state required safety gear. (Life jackets, sound producing device... ect.)

I've had the rules cited to me chapter and verse more times than I care to remember. However, if you're on a mooring they most likely won't bother you unless someone complains and if you have met the requirements listed above your good to stay.
They (MPs) just want to make sure you’re a welcome guest if you’re anchored out in front of someone’s home.
